    Budge Up!

    Benched!

    After two years at ClientCo, which is I think the longest I've ever stayed with one client, I have finally managed to escape

    Another five days and I would have hit the 24 month limit on claiming travel expenses, which wouldn't be ideal with a 140-mile daily commute. So I told them a couple of months ago I wouldn't take another extension, and today is Liberation Day.

    Time to relax and enjoy the warchest

      Congrats. Just passed 24 months at my ClientCo and that's a record for me too. Had enough really.

            I'm quite enthused about all the machine learning stuff they were showing off at the AWS Summit yesterday, so I reckon I'll start digging into that - bound to be a few bob in it over the next few years
